i claims. 01. Yisi-22) My invention relates to a new and useful irnprovement in a shing pole and particularly the means for attaching the rod portion to the handle and of fastening the reel on the handle. y

It is an object of the present invention to provide a fishing pole with a rod detachable from the handle and so fastened thereto that when it is in use its rotation is prevented.

Another object of the invention is the provision of novel means for attaching the reel to the handle whereby the same may be easily and quickly attached and securely locked in position when in use.

Another object of the present invention is the provision of a device of this class which will be simple in structure, economical of manufacture and highly eiiicient in use.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood from a reference to the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification and in which,

Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of theinvem Y tion, v

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the invention, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal, central sectional view of the invention, A

Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 1,

Fig. 5 is a view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 1, Fig. 6 is a view taken on line (ir-6 of Fig.- 1. The invention comprises a handle 9 fastened to a metallic shoulder 1G by means of a rod 30 projected through the shoulder 10,*the'handle 9 and the end cap 32.' A nut 31 is threaded upon the end of the rod. A

A finger grip 1'1 projects outwardly from the shoulder 10. A resting body 12 extends from the shoulder 10 and is provided with guide strips 13 and 14 at" opposite sides for guiding and engaging opposite sides of the plate 15 of the reel A boss or enlargement 17 projects outwardly from the body 12. A barrel 22 extends outwardls'r` from the boss 1'?. Formed through the bossJ i7 parallel to the axis `of the barrel 22 and posi tioned below said barrel is a bore which vintermediate its ends opens into a slot or recess 21. A threaded stem 18 `is positioned in the bore and threaded on this threaded stem is a nut`20 which engages in theslot or recess 2l so that upon rotation -of the nut thfesti'anx-v 18 may be moved .i a

having a therein for reception of a rodzli `The under of the stein 18 at one end thereof is cut away to provide a' flat surface 19. Engaged in the barrel 22 is'one end of the rod 23 which has its under surface cut away at one end to provide a dat portion 25 which engages a pin 24 projected through the barrel adiacent one side. The engagement of the pin 24 with the nat portion 25 prevents rotation of the rod in the barrel, so that the line may always be kept in proper alignment with the reel and its tangling on the rod prevented. 65

When it is intended to place the reel in posi.- tion, the stem 18 will be retracted and when the reel has been placed in position a part of the plate 15 will extend into asocket formed in the I shoulder 10, and the threading of the nut will 7G then force the stem outwardly so as to engage against the plate 15 and lock the same in position, the at surface 19 engaging the upper surface of the plate 15. A pin 27 which engages in a groove 26 formed in the stemV 18 prevents its 75 rotation. Guideplates 28 and 29 are positioned at opposite sides of the shoulder l0 and project outwardly therefrom to serve as guides for placing the reel plate 15 in position.

With a fishing rod handle constructed in this manner a' most eicient structure is provided and one which will afford a maximum amount of comfort and'pleasure to the`user. While-I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction I do not wish to85 limit myself to the precise details of structure shown but desire to avail myself of such variations and ,modincations as come within the scope .of the appended claims.

' for preventing rotation of vsaid rod in said barrel.

l2. Ina'iishing pole: a rod receiving barrel im a. pin projectedftransversely across said passage: a rod projected into said passageand'having a dat inclined portion engageable with said pinvfor preventing rotation 'of said rod.

:,3. In-'a fishing pole: a reel supporting body; ail.

shoulder atene end of said body provided with a recess for the reception of one end of a reel plate;

a Yboss at the opposite end of said body and Ihav- A .ing'a bore formed there-through' and opening intermediate as ends into a slot extending laser-1:10,4

ally through the boss; a threaded member engaged in said bore and having an inclined flat surface on one end; and a nut positioned in said slot and threaded on said threaded member for effecting, upon rotation, axial movement of said threaded member in the bore into and out of engagement with the opposite end`of the reel plate.

4. In a fishing pole: a reel supporting body; a shoulder at one end of said body provided with a recess for the reception of one end of a reel plate; a boss at the opposite end of said body and having a bore formed there-through and opening intermediate its ends into a slot extending laterally through the boss; a threaded member engaged in said bore and having an inclined flat surface on one end; and a. nut positioned in said slot and threaded on said threaded member for effecting, upon rotation, axial movement of said threaded member in the bore into and out of engagement with the opposite end of a reel plate, said threaded member having a longitudinally extending groove formed on its under surface; and a pin mounted in said body and projecting into said grove for preventing rotation of said threaded member.
